Feel Like Stranger
I went to the Meadowlands , and Philly and came back to my hometown for these shows . My first impression the first night was they were tired after the
...
last two X factor nights at the Spectrum. There were moments and The second night was much better ,I saw both California Earthquakes and I'm glad they shelved it ,though at the time it was quite remarkable as there acknowledgement of the Earth Quake that Hit California Bay area on 10/17. This "Stranger" has a good jam with some good interplay going on between Mickey and Bill , I thought it was better than the one from 10/9 or 10/16 ." Loser" here could have been one of the best if they didn't Flub coming in to the last chorus. Serious train wreck there "Bertha" is probably the best one I saw or heard from the late 80's, "Masterpiece" has some sweet licks from Jerry . " "Tennessee Jed" and "Let it Grow" is average. Rest of the show is good .These shows were typical of the time that a song or two could be really great and then the next song or songs could be uninspired with no energy ,they were more consistently good from start to finish spring '90 , at least at the shows I went to.

I was just a pup
This was my third show so pretty much anything and everything blew my mind. It was the most I could do at 19 to soak it all in and keep up. I was dosed
...
by an older friend and stuck wearing a union suit under my clothes in a hot venue. It quickly became a mind fck that ended with me stripping down in a nasty stall, leaving the union suit behind and flowing back into venue to Bertha with the rest of my clothes and my sanity. The vibe just opened up to one of the coolest early GD experiences of my 88 - 95 run. I was late to the party, that became increasingly evident, but this show still felt huge. That southern crowd does fire up, as they did here and at the Omni with consistency.

Very nice recording
First, the Bertha on this recording is one of the best I've ever heard. Fantastic energy and really captures that elusive "tight looseness" the band strived
...
for. You heard it a lot at shows, but it rarely seems to make its way through in recordings. At times it sounds like the band is a single organism, every player adding their own embellishments in perfect unison with the drummers who, in this recording, steam along at fine pace, laying down an intense poly-rythmic groove. The rest of the show is good; a little standard, but a very good example from the period with some exceptional Jerrycizing on a number of songs.

"Standing On The Moon", but the "Terrapin", my favourite album at that time really blew me away. The sound is great on this, and I'm glad to have been there.

Band sounds tired
After seeing all the 5-star ratings, I gave this one a go. The band sounds tired and uninspired on this night. Rough vocals and pelnty of sloppy playing.
...
But they played "California Earthquake" so I guess it's got novelty. Sound quality of the recording is very good.
